We Were Strangers, Starting Out On A Journey
We had our strike vote in Scranton last night. Today we had negotiations. It started to dawn on me that fairly soon, whether it be a few weeks or a few months, we will wind up the first contract on this, the younger and stronger of the twins, and that I would be moving on to another campaign. And the though of leaving Anna and the real Anna (the funny this is that there is an actual Anna as well as the blog-named Anna, whose name is something else) almost made me cry. I suspect I'll be up here every month, having lunch with Diana and dinner with Anna and Anna and Anna.... and the real Anna too. These folks restored my faith in organizing nurses.... and I helped them get back their faith in themselves. I've been working with these people (in addition to others) for more than two years now.
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me.
This is the start.
We were strangers, on a crazy adventure.
